"2015 proved to be a landmark year for Paal Nilssen-Love's Large Unit ensemble, when the band set out to play an impressive 40 shows over the course of three tours, two in Europe and one in North America, a monumental achievement for a 12 piece band. This 2CD/book set documents this extraordinary stretch of performances. The 100 page hardcover book features more than 100 photos of both on- and off-stage taken by Christian Meaas Svendsen and Peter Gannushkin, as well as liner notes by each member of the band and an interview with band-leader Paal Nilssen-Love. CD1 features various small scale versions of the band from a concert in Montreal, while CD2 captures the band at the height of their powers at the end of the North-American tour." (label info)
